Chapter 555: Seeing Each Other Again in the Special Battle Class

「Good morning」

「Good morning, Fran-dono. Ooh, so you’re here in your uniform today?」

「Nn」

When Fran arrived at the academy, she visited the preparation room for the mock battle instructors that she had been shown yesterday.

In a room much smaller than the staff room, there were about ten adults here. All of them were mock battle instructors, just like adventurers, they were dressed in leather armor. It could also be said that their current appearance, which was ready for battle, was their formal attire.

The scene of muscular former adventurers crowding this small room made the room look hot and humid. I didn’t have a nose, but I wonder why I think I could smell the sweat. Well, think of this as a gym, and you’ll get the idea.

Inez greeted her while standing upright. The other instructors had already been introduced to us yesterday, so they too were standing upright with serious faces. It made me feel nervous though.

「Let me show you to the Special Battle Class」

「Okay」

「Then, please follow me」

She was then led to one of the classrooms on the second floor of the tower.

The room looked just like any other ordinary classroom.

The presence that could be felt from inside was no different from any other classroom. There was a somewhat tense presence of about twenty people in there.

I guess they were nervous because they knew that Fran was coming. If there was someone who had a quick ear, they must have heard that a pretty girl who was both an instructor and a student would join them.

When we reached the class, nothing had changed except the tension.

There was no tremendous sense of intimidation emanating from the front of the classroom, nor was there any magic spreading around that would startle us. It was just the presence of ordinary boys and girls.

Since they were from the Special Battle Class, I was wondering how amazing they were, but…

Well, when I thought about it, it was not that surprising. They were still students after all, and that meant that Fran was by far the stronger of the two.

In addition, the fact that Inez was able to take on multiple students was a good indication of their ability. They probably just had high fighting prowess among the students. It seems that I was expecting a little too much.

「This afternoon’s class is scheduled to be a mock battle, but before that, I’ve set aside some time to introduce Fran-dono. They may have some questions, but if you can’t answer them, please just ignore them」

「Okay」

「Let’s get in then」

「Nn」

They must have seen our figure through the blurry glass of the door and knew that Inez had arrived. The voices of the students then quickly quieted down at once.

Inez then slowly opened the door to the classroom of the Special Battle Class. All eyes turned first to Inez, and then to Fran, who followed her into the classroom.

There was no contempt on the faces of the students. There was just a great sense of confusion.

「She really was a kid…」

「Sh-she’s so pretty!」

「So, what Charon said was true!」

I wondered if she had told them that she had met with Fran before, but it seems that was not all.

「I-it’s really you!」

Amid the noisy classroom, a student suddenly stood up with a surprised look on her face. But we were just as surprised as she was. After all, we had met her before.

「Charon?」

「Y-yes! I’m glad that you remembered my name」

「Nn」

Yes, it was Charon, the blonde drill girl. So, she was a member of the Special Battle Class, huh?

Apparently, Charon had already told her classmates about Fran beforehand.

Maybe she heard about the story about an instructor that was also a student from another class, then Charon who heard that information, tells her classmates about Fran. I guess that’s how the flow went. However, her classmates were also skeptical.

After all, for a girl from the Black Cat kin, who was actually a super talented adventurer and was talking to the Guildmaster so casually. That was too wild to be true, so I don’t blame her.

But unless the other classes, Charon and Inez, were in cahoots to fool them, they were certain that the girl in front of them was the new Special Mock Battle Instructor. Knowing that they finally believed that Fran was a strong girl.

「Fran-dono, do you know her?」

「Nn. We talked a little in the Adventurer’s Guild」

「So that’s why. Oi! Stay quiet!」

「「「…」」」

As usual, they were under her control. The students immediately closed their mouths in unison.

「Let me introduce her. This person is Fran-dono. She has just been appointed as the Special Mock Battle Instructor! Fran-dono’s adventurer rank is B, but her combat prowess is on par with an A ranker! She also has the Director’s approval. Besides, she also has an alias. I’m sure you’ve heard the name of Black Lightning Princess, right?」

Most of the students in the class were shaking their heads. But it seems that they know about Fran’s alias.

「It looks like you’ve been collecting information very well. If there was anyone who said they didn’t know, I would have had to give them an hour-long lecture on the importance of gathering information」

It seemed to be a part of their education but seeing as how Charon didn’t notice Fran at first, I’m not sure if she was being kept active or not.

She seems to know her name, race, and alias. However, she lacked the ability or insight to see through the identity of the other party.

Even Inez must have that ability. She felt the need to teach her the importance of such information from now on.

「The next lesson will be a mock battle, but before that, does anyone have any questions for Fran-dono?」

If this were a school on Earth, I’m sure there would be all sorts of questions being asked to the mysterious and pretty transfer student. Whether or not she had a boyfriend, where she was from, what type of boy she liked, there would be no end to the questions that would be asked.

However, the students then become quiet. After all, she was an instructor and a high-ranking adventurer. They must be afraid of upsetting her by asking inappropriate questions, so they don’t know what to ask. However, they also knew that it would be rude for no one to ask any questions.

The students looked at each other and a strange sense of tension enveloped the classroom. It was the blonde drill-san who then broke the atmosphere.

「…Me!」

「Charon, huh? Go ahead」

「You mentioned that she will be both an instructor and a student, what kind of responsibilities will she have?」

「I’ll answer that. Basically, she’ll be a student in the Special Battle Class. However, since she’ll also act as an instructor for the Special Battle Class, the Advanced Class, and several other classes, she will be excused during that time」

「I understand, thank you very much」

That was also explained to us beforehand. Except for her work as a Special Mock Battle Instructor, she was a student of the Special Battle Class.

Well, Fran doesn’t have to earn credits, so it didn’t matter if she missed some classes.

They also explained the content of the classes beforehand, but she didn’t need to take half of them. Apparently, there were many classes to learn skills for working as an adventurer, such as trap disarming and goblin dissection classes.

After that, most of the questions were about the weapons she used and the magic she was good at. It seems that they wanted to gather information about her before the mock battle.

Well, I don’t know if any of that is of any use though.

「Well then, it’s about time. Move to the 5th mock battle site! Make sure everything is ready by the time Fran-dono and I arrive!」

「「「Yes!」」」

「Fran-dono, please come with me. For now, please use the instructor’s changing room. But from tomorrow onwards, you can use whichever you like, whether it’s the one for students or instructors」

「Okay」
